TO ICE OR FROST A WEDDING OR ANY FLAT TOP CAKE
Ingredients
- one coat of icing only
Directions
When the cake is baked and cold, cut off all the rough parts and brush ofifall crumbs ; then prepare an icing *in the manner described, but in this case for first icing use ordinary *' powdered sugar;" give the cake a thin covering with this icing, simply to fill up the hollows, so that the second coat of icing, made from finer sugar, may rest smoother on it. If in a hurry, and you do not care so much about the appearance, then give one coat of icing only. In that case the sugar must be the kind I have mentioned (the finest). When a first coat is used, place it in the oven or in some warm place to dry, before adding the second coat.
^* Please note where the word icing or ice is \Laed it means frosting.
